A Betta Fish Named Stanley

Look at that gangster fish face–“You lookin’ at me? I said are you lookin’ at me?!”

No offense to Wanda, but we’ve got the betta fish naming down to a science. Stan-the-Man (he’s had a name for .025 seconds and he already has a nickname) is enjoying life so far in the Life with Arie household, and we couldn’t be happier to have him. After 15 Facebook votes for the various options, numerous in-person votes from friends, family, and co-workers, and a handful of wonderful ideas from others, Stanley was the winning name for the betta, garnering more votes than the others. Stanley seems to fit the little guy, or big betta fish, I should say, and I couldn’t be happier with the choice.

Now that Stanley has his new name, we can officially kick off FISH WEEK! This week our posts will be all about the fishies, especially bettas to celebrate Stan. I can’t wait to share all that I’ve found while researching this week!

So often we blog about our cats, dogs, ferrets, etc, but how often do we talk about our fish? If you have a fish, comment or tweet with us @masdemoore with a little bit about them or even a photo!

Stanley is a handsome guy. I can’t wait to read more about fish as well. I tried being a fish owner and wasn’t very good at it. I got the itch for more fish but I need to learn how to better care for them. Help me out Katherine. Can’t wait for you and you fellow bloggers to maybe teach me a little something about our aquatic companions.
